T-SERV PT

T-Serv is a great performance tire for urban city use, incorporating ZSG compound, 400D Lite Extra Cord, and PT technologies. Hands down, T-Serv PT is the best urban strength to weight ratio tire on the market today. Need to get through your urban jungle quickly and reliably? T-serv PT is the answer.


PASELA

Pasela is our standard all around touring or urban commuting tire. Its comprehensive size range insures that you can find a Pasela for most any usage. Ride it and trust it. 2 tread patterns available.


The part that confused me the most was why they use what looks like the same tread pattern yet call it two different names. I would think they would just use a smilar name and make an ammendment to it, like the Pasela and Pasela TG.

Now, I don't ask questions here too often, I am one to do simple research - but when I don't understand the results of the research I'll ask. I apologize for wasting other's time.
T-Serv has the technologies mentioned in the bolded part. Pasela only has the 400D. This should be clear from the little icons next to each tire on the website. The "technologies" section on the site will explain what they mean: http://www.panaracer.com/technologies.php

Why should the use different thread pattern? Thread patterns are pretty inconsequential on hard surfaces anyway.
